Eowyn was estimated to be at least 3 years old when she arrived as a stray in February of 2004. A really nice couple found her and were very concerned about her condition and that she hadn't shown any interest in food. She seemed OK after she was brought to the shelter, although she was not very active or playful as a normal ferret should be. She was very sweet though and gave lots of kisses which won over someone wanting to adopt. Eowyn went home with them weighing 775 grams and returned several weeks later emaciated, dehydrated and weighing 440 grams. Her glucose was low, liver enzymes were high and her BUN was high indicating the possibility of kidney issues. She lived through the ordeal, but never really completely recovered. She is now very plump at close to 1,000 grams, but will not eat ferret kibble. She gets a prescription diet in a soup form twice each day. She is on a medication to reduce the inflammation of her bowels that she will be on the rest of her life. She is still a lover, but not very energetic or playful.
